Taken from Richard Chase's 1943 collection, The Jack Tales, where it was entitled Jack and the Giants' Newground, this story offers an Appalachian variant on the classic story of The Brave Little Tailor - tale type 1640 in the Aarne-Thompson folklore classification system - and is a humorous celebration of the triumph of quick thinking (and quite a bit of luck!) over brute strength. With plenty of regional flare, and amusing artwork that accentuates the fun of the story, Jack the Giant Chaser is a book I would recommend to young folklore enthusiasts, particularly those with a taste for Jack tales, or an interest in the Appalachian tradition.
